History

One of the founding members of the Bundesliga as defending German champions, Borussia Dortmund had to wait another 32 years before finally claiming the national crown again. That heralded an era of glory with three Bundesliga titles and their only UEFA Champions League triumph in 1997. After briefly flirting with relegation during the mid-noughties, the arrival of charismatic head coach Jürgen Klopp marked the beginning of the most successful period in the club's history, as Marco Reus, Shinji Kagawa and Co. went on to win back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012 and reach the 2013 Champions League final, which they lost to bitter rivals FC Bayern München.

Former 1. FSV Mainz 05 head coach Thomas Tuchel replaced Klopp for the 2015/16 campaign and steered Die Schwarzgelben to second with a points haul that would have delivered a sixth Bundesliga title to the club in all but four Bundesliga seasons to date. Summer signings of European champion Raphael Guerreiro from FC Lorient and exciting teenager Ousmane Dembele from Stade Rennais FC have left hopes high that the departures of Mats Hummels and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not be too keenly felt.
